This has been the walk I should have done on Friday when the bus didn't show up. Things didn't get off to a good start though because the early morning train from Doncaster to Sheffield was cancelled again and so I had to use the bus.
I travelled to the summit of the Snake Pass, there's a bus stop there that's used by the X57 service that goes to Manchester. I walked to the south along the Pennine Way; it was easy going at first, a paved path going across the moors, relatively level for at least a couple of miles.
The path then climbed up to the plateau of Kinder Scout , keeping to the western edge followed by the steep rocky descent down Jacob's Ladder to the Vale of Edale.
I passed through the tiny hamlet of Upper Booth and left the Pennine Way before reaching Barber Booth and then climbed up on to the Great Ridge and finished the walk at Castleton. The weather wasn't as nice as Friday, very little sunshine and occasional drizzle with a bit of heavier, more persistent rain for the final hour.
